The Legend of Freud by Samuel Weber
This text argues that psychoanalysis is not just a theory of psychic conflict: it is a thought in conflict with itself. This is a study of Freud's defences of psychoanalysis and the conflicts into which psychoanalytic theory has been drawn.
"The Legend of Freud is a fine example of what can be done with Freud's texts when philosophical and literary approaches converge, and you leave the couch in the other room. . . Weber is brilliantly imaginative, respectful of his subject and his readers, and productive of new ideas." -- Village Voice Literary Supplement
Samuel Weber is Professor of English at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Director of the UCLA Paris Program in Critical Theory. Among his many books is Mass Mediauras: Form, Technics, Media (Stanford, 1996).
